Stampin’ Up! Accented Blooms and Stampin’ Blends!

Posted on June 2, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The new Accented Blooms set coordinates with the Tailored Tag Punch. I already had my punch from the Occasions Catalog, so I had to order this set to go with it! For my card today I embossed a So Saffron layer with the Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, then sponged with Crumb Cake ink.

I stamped the blooms image with Crumb Cake ink, then colored with Stampin' Blends, which are now available to order again! The colors we previously offered are now back in stock. The new colors in the New Annual Catalog will be available in a few weeks.

I sponged a Pearlized Doily's back side with Crumb Cake and partially hid a pearl in the center.

I love this Abstract Impressions sentiment!

Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends are Here!

Posted on November 2, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I never got around to blogging yesterday because I came down with a touch of the flu on Monday night and just was feeling kind of crummy. I even had to cancel the guy scheduled to clean my carpets, which was even more of a bummer!

Yesterday was the debut of the the new Stampin' Blends from Stampin' Up!; alcohol markers in 12 of our flagship colors in both a light and dark shade! There's also Bronze, Ivory, and a Color Lifter!

Here's the link to the Stampin' Blends brochure: http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/Promotions/NA/2017/Stampin%27%20Blends/StampinBlends_2017_US.pdf

Some features of Stampin' Blends:

Add just the right amount of color where you need it with the brush tip or fine-point.
Each color (except Ivory and Bronze) has a light and dark shade marker, available individually or in a combo pack.
Stampin' Up! has done in-house testing for evaporation and life testing and are really happy with the results!

Press fit seal prevents air from entering the barrel and causing evaporation.
The nestable lids are easy to keep track of and have a tight fit for long-lasting color.

Here's a video created by Stampin' Up! to introduce Stampin' Blends:

Here's a Stampin' Blends Basics video from Stampin' Up!

Watch how to create the cards in the Color Me Happy Card Kit with Stampin' Blends!

Stampin’ Up! Gilded Silk!

Posted on October 12, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I learned of a new technique the other day, a variation of the Faux Silk technique, Gilded Silk. For this technique I stamped on a natural coffee filter with an image from Count My Blessings, crumpled it into a ball, then adhered to a Very Vanilla layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I purposely did not smooth out the crumples to leave the lines and creases that give the Faux Silk it's look. I then adhered the edges the filter to the back side of the layer before adhering to the Early Espresso card base with SNAIL.

The "gilded" part of the technique is achieved by gently pressing a Versamark pad to the raised creases of the filter, sprinkling with Gold embossing powder, and then heating with a Heat Tool. This gives the crinkles some glitz. I then sponged around the edges with Early Espresso ink.

I stamped "thinking of you" from Count My Blessings with Early Espresso on Very Vanilla, cut with a Layering Oval Framelit, then sponged the edges with Early Espresso. I mounted it on an Early Espresso mat cut with an Eastern Medallion Thinlet. I stretched a piece of 1/4" Copper Trim to about 1/2" wide before gluing across the gilded silk layer. I adhered the greeting layers over the trim with dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful You Sunshine!

Posted on May 9, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I created today's card with watercolor paper, Beautiful You, and the coming-soon-in-the-new-catalog set, Daisy Delight!

I started with a Whisper White Thick card stock base, layered with a piece of Succulent Garden Designer paper. The designer paper is Old Olive, so I cut an Old Olive mat for the Watercolor Paper layer that I stamped the focal images.

I stamped the girl first, covered her and her umbrella with a post-it note mask, then stamped the daisies with Daffodil Delight ink.

After stamping all of the daisies, I left the mask over the girl, then spritzed with water to get the overall Daffodil Delight color.

I added the Daffodil Delight "sunshine", cut with a Sunshine Wishes Thinlet.

Inside I used a Beautiful You phrase, and stamped more Daffodil Delight Daisies.

This card will be part of the "Guys & Gals" card class next week!

Stampin’ Up! Oh So Succulent Waterfall for Mother’s Day!

Posted on February 10, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! When I created my first Oh So Succulent Waterfall card a few days ago, I didn't stop with just one, I created this second one, also with the Oh So Succulent Bundle!

I started with an Old Olive 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" flat base, then added a layer of Succulent Garden Designer Paper 4" x 5 1/4"

I stamped off Sweet Sugarplum for the flower, then stamped the outline with full-strength Sweet Sugarplum. "Happy Mother's Day" is included in Oh So Succulents.

The waterfall strip is 2 ¼” x 9 ½”, scored at 3 ¾”, 5”, 5 ¾”, 6 ½”, 7 ¼”.

I used the waterfall flaps to showcase the gorgeous Succulent Garden Designer Paper!

I added a few rhinestones to sparkle up the ending sentiment!

I secured the cross-piece with both Tear & Tape adhesive and a staple. I don't really like exposed staples, so will probably go back and add a flower to hide it.

Oh So Succulent stamps on the envelope too!
